Students in their last year of high school can benefit from learning how to manage their own finances before entering the real world.

HFS Federal Credit Union is giving 300 Big Island high school seniors a chance to learn some financial fundamentals during a Reality Fair from 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Oct. 1 at Sangha Hall, 398 Kilauea Ave. in Hilo.

Students will have an opportunity to gain hands-on experience of what it means to manage a family household budget of their own by taking a glimpse into the future with a career, family and many choices to make surrounding their lifestyle and how much it will cost.

Attendees also will receive a swag bag and lunch for their participation and be entered to win lucky number prizes.

Registration is underway and ends Sept. 15, while spots are available.

Students interested in participating can register by visiting www.hfsfcu.org/news/2017RealityFair.
